More Fun At The Ton!
Ok, My name is Ken and I am an addict...motorcycles are my addiction. Hoosierdaddy and and others wanted to see what I've done with myV50. I'll start with a bit about it. It was my dad's first bike. He got it after seeing a 1982 Yamaha XZ550RJ Vision I bought in '84 while in college. He helped me rebuild the engine(I flogged her pretty hard and she started to leak) and was bit by the bike bug. So he saw what he thought was a cool little Guzzi and bought it after quite a bit of thought. He rode a bit until the engine got hungry and decided it would consume its left side cylinder. He started in on it and gave up after seeing the damage. He decided life was too short to spend any more time on it and went out and bought a '87 Le Mans SE...one of 100 available here in the US. So the little 50 sat in the garage for 15 years under cover. I dug her out 3 years ago but couldn't get started right away. Pics of when I got her.
